  more specifically CM does not support NFAS via MGCP yet; does not matter what kind of gateway you try to use.

  can the CMM PRIs do that 'sharing' of D channels?

    I'm running a CMM with 6 port PRI card and ACT card. 

     

    Both run very well now.  The older IOS was pretty buggy but things seem to be working well now.  I use the ACT card for both conferencing and transcoding and works great.

    How's the stability of the CMM now? I remember when it first came out there were some 'warnings' out there. We purchased the 6608 blades and are quite happy with them. They might be better priced than the 6608 for conferencing resources, but I remember when I costed them for analog ports, compared to VG248, they were quite a bit more. Anyways, just my two cents.

      For what it is worth, I am going through a VERY similar issue right now.  If you have a 6500 series chassis laying around, the CMM card with ACT daughtercards will give you the best bang for the buck in transcoding resources.  The 6608 is $25K and only yeilds 32 conference participants.  The CMM with 1 ACT (it can support up to four) costs $18K and will support upto 128 conference participants.  Another drag on the 6608 cards is that your switch must be running CatOS.  The CMM supports CatOS or IOS.

        The default confernce resource that ships with CallManager is hosted in the IP Voice Media Stream App process on the CallManager server.  This resource only supports the g711 codec.  If you wish to host g729 members in conference you must provide g729 conference resource or transcoders.  There are IOS versions of both available for smaller scale deployments and modules like the CMM and 6608 for large deployments.

        Some more information.

        It appears this is related to the Codecs for calling between regions. When I set all the regions to use the same codecs to call between themselves, multiple regions/devicepools could join the same conference.  Is this a technical limitation of the meet-me conference? Will a bridge solve the problem?

        Thanks,

        For some reason, phones in different device pools cannot join the same meet-me conference. Whatever device pool the originator is in, becomes the only device pool from which joining parties can join (but any outside caller).

        Eg. Phone in device pool LosAngeles starts a meet-me, only phones in LosAngeles pool can join, and SanFran pool phones get a busy...

        Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround?

        Thanks,

        Avidan
